The question that rings in many minds when we think of America, UK and people who explain everything by science. I read this Article which in a way explains this phenomenon of losing faith to Science and finding a scientific explanation for miracles. Although the writer seems like an Atheist he brings out the problems of losing faith but really doesn’t have any strong solution to the problems that he enumerates.
In some place the writer says “When I was an undergraduate I knew a rabbi, Will Herberg, who worried about my lack of religious faith. He warned me that we must worship God, because otherwise we would start worshiping each other. He was right about the danger, but I would suggest a different cure: we should get out of the habit of worshiping anything.”
Emphasis ME: In a way disagree; I know that most deadliest wars fought pretend to be in the name of RELIGION, in reality they are a fight of regionalism, a fight for land & its resources. So, I think a world that believes in God is still less dangerous than a world that does not believe in God because somewhere God and the literal teachings of Various Prophets keeps the believers in some sort of positive control.
On the whole the Article is a thoughtful analysis of the weakening of religious belief in countries with advanced science.
